That’s the name of some fancy new study-circle for… well, they swear it’s not just for DPP people or even just politicians, so there. Anyway, they study “Taiwanese” culture. And have highly-placed backers in the Taiwan government.
Does anybody know what exactly they study? In principle, could foreigners apply?

According to their blurb, you have to be a member of “society’s elite” to get in. However, given that in Taiwan, that just means you scratch your bum with a different finger to the one you use to pick your nose, you should get in no problem.
You could always call and ask: 2550-1515.
The English Web site obviously isn’t ready to go yet (a dummy page with “Soong lays out vision for nation” as the headline 
). But the Chinese version might be of help.
Lee Teng-hui thought?
I thought Lee Teng-hui thought was taught at the Institute called the Taiwan Think Tank? I think it has another name, but I always hear it referred to as that.
I think the Ketagalan is meant to train party cadres for the DPP, somewhat similiar to a school run by the KMT. So much for dispensing with Leninst political practicies. Just more proof that the DPP does not represent a new Taiwan. They just have a green flag.
